icepixieOkay, Peter. I was willing to cut you some slack on not realizing that your girlfriend wasn't who she said she was because I know you're pretty much being controlled by hormones right now. But when Nina, possibly Walter, and BOOKSTORE DUDE SHE'S ONLY SEEN TWICE BEFORE notice something's off and you don't? Get with the program, pal.
Other than that and the more-pseudo-than-usual psuedoscience (doesn't everyone who knows anything about numbers stations know they're used for cryptographical purposes by spies and drug runners? not "First People"? Or was that merely a cover up so that Fauxlivia could figure out where portions of the machine had been hidden by...someone, I have no idea whom, from the other side?*), this was quite good! Astrid actually got to do something related to her expertise, OMG! It was so awesome! And Nina and Walter toking up while reminiscing about their student days at Harvard was pretty hilarious.
Even though it was Fauxlivia, her and Peter's morning after was adorable. *squee*
I totally thought that the husband of the first victim was Wesley Crusher all grown up, but IMDB claims the actor wasn't Wil Wheaton.
Peter's little speech at the end made me all the way sure that our people would find a way to save both universes. Yeah, big surprise, I know. I'm also betting that Fauxlivia turns double agent at some point after next week, or comes entirely over to our side.
Speaking of next week, the best news of all is that (according to the preview, anyway), we get Ourlivia back in the right universe wiht the help of Awesome Cab Driver Whose Name I Can't Recall! Sweet!
* ETA: Fridgelogic tells me that William Bell probably hid the pieces on our side. Durrr....

Date: 2010-11-12 04:18 am (UTC)I was...kind of bored by this. It felt very much like set-up set-up set-up, moving the requisite pieces into place for the next stage in the arc. I just felt like there were so many telling instead of showing scenes, IDK.
You know, I think the writers hanging a lantern on the whole "Peter kinda knows Olivia's a bit weird but..." thing actually made it worse. He's just...I don't even know what his deal is.

He's being dumb for the sake of the story. Or else he knows she's a spy and is playing some kind of long con until he can safely take her out, I'm not sure. I wondered if maybe the U2 tickets were a test of some kind: Ourlivia doesn't like U2 at all, or something like that. (Though the preview appears to blow this theory to hell.)
